17:17 Newmarket — Race Preview & Tips

For the 17:17 at Newmarket, my confident pick is HIGH STORM (1/10). K. R. Burke and Clifford Lee team up with this impressive three-year-old, who looks incredibly hard to oppose here.

High Storm arrives in career-best form, having won last time out with a dominant performance. This victory underscored their class and, combined with their consistent 34-21 form figures, highlights their reliability – placing in three of their last four runs.

As a young 3yo with that recent win under their belt, there’s undoubtedly scope for further improvement, and High Storm, boasting an OR of 85, is expected to continue their ascent. While the odds of 1/10 are short, they reflect a horse truly at the top of their game and ready to deliver.

For those looking for an each-way alternative, ARCHERS BAY catches the eye and could offer some value to hit the frame. Expect High Storm to stamp their class on this contest.
